Storing hydrogen gas in natural gas storage sites could help provide the large-scale energy storage required to decarbonize global energy supply. Here, we determine that active natural gas storage sites in the United States (U.S.) can store 312 TWh of hydrogen working gas, which is most of the hydrogen storage energy required for a 100% renewable energy grid in the country. We also provide the first assessment of the geologic reservoir quality for hydrogen and static storage capacity of inactive natural gas storage sites in the U.S. Our analysis evaluates each site for conversion to hydrogen storage based on their reservoir properties, and we find that these sites can store 3.9 TWh of hydrogen working gas. We conclude that these inactive sites provide a favorable route to commence seasonal hydrogen storage, but larger storage volumes, such as those provided by active sites, will be required in the future. • Storing hydrogen gas in natural gas storage sites can provide seasonal energy storage. • Active natural gas storage sites could store 312 TWh of hydrogen working gas. • Inactive natural gas storage sites could store 3.9 TWh of hydrogen working gas. • Active sites could store most of the hydrogen gas needed in a future electrical grid. • Inactive sites with good reservoir quality are strong candidate hydrogen storage sites.
